Children’s Day 2021:
Children’s Day is celebrated on November 14 across India, every year.
The day is also known as ‘Bal Diwas’ and is marked on the birth anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Pandit Nehru was also known for his affection towards kids.
Nehru also established the Children’s Film Society India to make indigenous cinema exclusively for children.
After the death of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, a resolution was passed in the Indian Parliament to mark the birth anniversary of the first Prime Minister of India as Children’s Day.
It was done so because he was very popular among the kids. Prior to the death of Nehru, India celebrated Children’s Day on November 14.
Significance
Apart from the tribute Children’s Day offers to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the celebration speaks of Children’s rights, care and education.
Pandit Nehru once said, “The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country”.
The first Prime Minister of India has a clear vision of what modern India should look like and he set out to realize his dreams by establishing strong pillars which would support the newly independent nation back then.
